Hey guys I have been looking at a lot of your guys tags for your threads. One thing I have noticed is that people tend to make tags just on one word and then make another tag for the next word.

Here is what I mean, sorry for taking XplittR as an example :P

For his tutorial on how to make User Bars (very good tut btw ;) )
He has used the tags:

adobe, fleud, guide, how to, photoshop, tutorial, userbar, userbars
Now these tags are less effective than tags such as

photoshop tutorial, user bar tutorial, custom user bar, etc
This makes it a lot for effective as it makes it more specific to the thread.
The tag "tutorial" could literally apply for any tutorial what so ever!

So please just remember to put effective tags on your threads :)

Actually, "tutorial" could literally apply for tutorials.

Not exactly everything ;)

Anyway, I'll stop being an arse, and take that into consideration.

I will merge the userbar/userbars tags so that they are one. But I think having tags that are too unique are not helpful. Ask yourself, what is the point of tagging? So that when you want to find something you look for tags... i.e. Let's say I want to look for things that are tagged with tutorial... for all tutorials. Or things tagged make money, or tagged adobe photoshop (should be adobe photoshop not just adobe) There are some tag lines that I agree the words should be put together. Not sure, there's a fine balance here that's hard to pinpoint.
